One or more first sensors may be configured to sense seismic signals and one or more second sensors may be configured to sense electromagnetic crosstalk signals. The second sensors are not responsive to the seismic signals. The data from the first and second sensors may be recorded as first data and second data, respectively. The first data may be modified based on the second data to remove the electromagnetic crosstalk noise form the seismic data.

A method for processing seismic data may include receiving, via a processor, the seismic data acquired via a seismic survey. The seismic survey may include seismic sources that emit seismic wavefields at different locations. Each of the seismic sources may change a directivity pattern of a respective seismic wavefield based on a respective location of the respective seismic source. The seismic survey may also include seismic receivers that may receive the seismic data. The method may also include generating one or more basis functions that correspond to measurements of the seismic data, modelling a signal component of the seismic data as a sum of the one or more basis functions, and storing the signal component in a storage component. The signal component may be used to acquire an image of a subsurface region of the earth for identifying a feature in the subsurface region of the earth.

A housing for a seismic sensor station has a base and a removable lid, which when assembled together form a shell whereby the base and the removable lid both have a shell side and an exterior side. A sensor spike, protruding outward from the shell, may be attached to the base on the exterior side of the base. The housing is further provided with two cable docking ports, each allowing passage of a fiber optical cable from outside to inside the shell. The two cable docking ports are exclusively provided in the removable lid.

A rock breaking seismic source and active source three-dimensional seismic combined detection system uses a tunnel boring machine for three-dimensional seismic combined detection by active seismic source and rock breaking seismic source methods. Long-distance advanced prediction and position recognition of a geological anomalous body are realized using the active source seismic method. Machine construction is adjusted and optimized according to the detection result; real-time short-distance accurate prediction of the body is realized using the cutter head rock breaking vibration having weak energy but containing a high proportion of transverse wave components as seismic sources and adopting an unconventional rock breaking seismic source seism recording and handling method. An area surrounding rock quality to be excavated is represented and assessed.
